New Ideals In Rural Schools (1913)

New Ideals In Rural Schools is a book written by George Herbert Betts and originally published in 1913. The book discusses the need for change and improvement in rural schools in the United States at the time. Betts argues that rural schools should not simply replicate the education model of urban schools but instead should focus on the unique needs and challenges of rural communities. The book covers a range of topics related to rural education including the importance of vocational training the role of the teacher in rural communities and the need for better facilities and resources. Betts also discusses the social and cultural factors that can impact education in rural areas such as poverty isolation and a lack of access to technology. Throughout the book Betts provides examples of successful rural schools and educators who have implemented innovative approaches to teaching and learning. He also offers practical suggestions for how rural schools can improve such as creating more opportunities for student involvement in extracurricular activities and incorporating more hands-on learning experiences. Overall New Ideals In Rural Schools is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of education in the United States particularly in rural areas. Betts' insights and recommendations are still relevant today as rural schools continue to face unique challenges and opportunities in providing quality education to their students.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
